The Liverpool midfielder has been in fine form for Jurgen Klopp’s side.

Liverpool's Adam Lallana celebrates scoring their third goal

Speaking to BBC Sport, Jermaine Jenas has hailed the performances of Liverpool star Adam Lallana.

The midfielder has been in fine form for both club and country in recent weeks with a series of impressive performances.

First he was the Three Lions match winner with a late goal to seal victory over Slovakia in Sam Allardyce’s first game in charge.

He then followed that up with a superb solo goal in the Reds’ 4-1 defeat of Leicester City at the weekend. His displays have earned him widespread praise and Jenas has added his voice to that list.

“Everybody at Liverpool is playing really well but I have to give special mention to Adam Lallana,” he told BBC Sport.

“[He’s] been brilliant, I thought he played well in the summer for England, and he’s continued that form this season.”

Lallana has certainly been impressive for Liverpool so far this season.

In his four games to date he has managed two goals as well as creating seven chances and bagging one assist.

That form has helped his side to enjoy a relatively strong start to the season, with them currently sitting sixth in the table with seven points from four games.

Their next game sees them take on Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Friday and they will be hoping he can continue his fine form to help them to another important victory.
